Every flavor but plain

I know how you feel... In the UK , anything that's processed.. a TV dinner type situation.. in recent years has had Chilli to it... even chocolate or Biscuits ( cookies) or crisps ( chips)..... I am sick to the back teeth of being unable to buy anything that isn't spiced up to the hilt..
 

They are still around in some stores, more so in the fall and winter around here. I still remember as a child having a couple of bowls of nuts in the shell with a cracker lying next to them. We also had a small trash can for shells nearby.

Oh gosh, I remember my mother doing that. She'd park herself in front of the TV, with I don't know how many lbs of walnuts and start crackin' away. We all helped.

I can't recall what all she made w/them. I do know she would have a bowl out w/walnuts and raisins in them for snacking.

I get my walnuts and almonds shelled out of the big bins at Winco, sold by the pound.
The walnuts get used for my 3 ingredient banana bread.

I love walnuts. I use them in banana and pumpkin bread. I put them in my cookies and brownies. I use them in fudge. I like them in chicken salad. Often just strait out of the bags. Maybe that should have been my user name LOL

I love walnuts. Love to put chopped walnuts in my yogurt, also in brownies, etc. They're also good for Omega-3. I have to be careful with almonds, though, particularly when they're raw because they are hard and it's easy to crack a tooth on them (did it once). Roasted are easier to bite.

I love brazil nuts as well but I have not found them in a handy bag or can. To get them I have to go to a certain store where they sell them in bulk bins. I am not over in that area very often. They are also quite pricey so it is a once in a while treat.

Amazon has shelled, organic and in shell.
 
We have an old family owned Italian market that stocks nuts in the shell for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The unusual thing is that they make a little chart with an actual nut and description of each that hangs next to each register.

I assume it’s because many younger employees don’t recognize them in the shell.

Times change. 🤭
